The aim of the project is to strengthen multiperspectivity and interdisciplinarity in European Holocaust Education by taking into account the diversity of memory cultures and their consequences for the present. A special focus will be put on the integration of narratives on flight and migration. Existing approaches to Holocaust Education, which at the same time encourage a critical examination of racism, antisemitism and totalitarianism in the 20th century and today, are to be bundled and further developed.

For the cooperation in the field of diversity-oriented Holocaust Education in European immigration societies, educational institutions and multipliers of remembrance work from different European countries are to be networked with each other. Along with a Europe-wide survey and overview analysis of current challenges and new approaches to this educational work, the educational institutions will exchange ideas in two large events and several key topic workshops. The goal is the joint development and testing of multi-perspective methods and tools for a diversity-oriented and interdisciplinary Holocaust education that incorporates narratives on current flight and migration movements. The results of the survey and method development will be made available and disseminated online on existing platforms.

Events

The project is funded by the European Union within the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV).
